About the Maryland Photography Alliance
Founded in 2017, the mission of the Maryland Photography Alliance (MPA) is to promote collaboration, cooperation, and the sharing of resources among member clubs. Through a strong alliance, individual club members have greater access to photographic enrichment opportunities. MPA’s goal is to encourage the understanding & appreciation of photography through a statewide photo competition, gallery exhibitions, a one-day “Odyssey of Light” seminar with nationally known professionals, the judge certification program, and the MPA grant.
The Alliance strives to be a cultural stimulus that fosters artistic creativity. The rich & diverse photographic culture of Maryland has benefited from the Maryland Photography Alliance. There are currently nineteen clubs in the MPA. For more information, visit www.MDPhotoAlliance.org or e-mail MPA@MDPhotoAlliance.org.
